Objective The objective of this study was to answer the question: Do conventional radiographs (periapical/panoramic) afford better diagnostic outcomes than cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a complement for clinical diagnosis of apical lesions with persistent apical periodontitis or disease after root canal treatment? Study Design Five electronic databases were searched and provided information to enable construction of a table to determine primary diagnostic measures and secondary parameters. The evidence was appraised with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool and GRADEpro software. Results Twenty-seven articles (9903 diagnostic images) were included. The pooled…

Background The aim of the study was compare the sensitivity and measurements obtained from teeth with apical lesions scheduled for periapical surgery using three different diagnostic methods: periapical radiography (Gendex Expert DC), panoramic radiography (Planmeca® Promax 3D Classic) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) (Planmeca® Promax 3D Classic). Material and methods This cross-sectional study involved 35 patients (45 teeth) scheduled for periapical surgery in which periapical radiographs, panoramic radiographs and CBCT scans had been obtained. The images were used to analyze the maximum vertical and horizontal dimension and the resulting areas of the periapical lesions based on t…
